Bus Parking Lot/ Playground
Parents are not permitted to enter the bus area or remove students from the playground area. This is for security/safety reasons. If you are picking your child up early, please phone the office to let them know what time you will be coming and when you arrive at the school so that your child can be sent out. Should your child already be on the bus or on the playground, we will also get them off of the school bus and playground area for you when you arrive.
Pick ups
At the end of the day I will bring all students with me to do bus drop offs and then bring them into the lobby for pick up. This is again for safety reasons, thank you for understanding.
Parents/guardians/family should wait outside at the front of the school to meet their child for pick up.
School Start Time
School begins at 8:30 am. The first bell rings at 8:20 am and children should be here in sufficient time to begin classes at 8:30am. Students arriving after 8:30 am will be signed in late at the office.
When arriving late, please send your child to the front door of the school, especially if no staff is outside on duty.
Students are not to be dropped off at the school prior to 8:05 am as there is no supervision prior to this time and staff must be on duty before students exit their cars. Staff on duty wear an orange or yellow duty vest.
Online Milk Program
Milk MUST be ordered online through the hotlunches program.

Homework Bags
If you have not done so already, please send in your $2.00 for your child's homework bag.
Forms
There were many important forms sent home, please ensure that they are returned as soon as possible. It is important that we have the most up to date contact information in the event that Public Health needs to initiate contact tracing.
Students with Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis/Allergy Management plans will be sent home for parents to review and complete for students whom we have information pertaining to existing allergy information. This information is very important for us to have for emergency purposes.
STUDENTS MUST WEAR EPIPENS.
You do not need to provide a photo for you kindergartener as the school does their own.
Medications
Medications are NOT to be sent in with students in their kitbags. Parents should drop off medications in the office and complete a Medication Administration Form.
Breakfast Volunteers

We will require at least 3 volunteers per day to prepare the fruits and vegetables. Please contact our Vice Principal Lynette MacKinnon at lvmackinnon@edu.pe.ca if you would like to volunteer.
